Also known as: Apuleia Leiocarpa, Brazilian Ash, Grapia, Amarealao, Marotoa, Muiratua, Muirajuba.
Garapa (also known as Apuleia Leiocarpa, Brazilian Ash, Grapia, Amarealao, Marotoa, Muiratua, Muirajuba) is one of the finest quality hardwoods available that features a fine-grained timber that is light yellow to a warm golden hue. Garapa is an exotic hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attack. Garapa is naturally scratch resistant which allows the surface to remain smooth for many years, making Garapa an perfect wood for exterior decking. Garapa offers a 30+ year lifespan without preservatives! Our Garapa decking is responsibly harvested from managed forest to provide a truly renewable resource. Garapa is comparable to Ipe and is available at a fraction of the cost. We ship our Garapa decking products direct to your home or job site.
Like most of our exotic hardwood decking options, Garapa is a photosensitive wood, meaning its color changes when exposed to light. This means Garapa will mature to a rich brownish color over time, making it a great alternative to Ipe or Cumaru in outdoor projects.
We carry everything you need to build your garapa deck: screws, plugs, spacers, and more!
